OldtimeFalcon Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Here's the series history of Atlanta vs Pittsburgh.Series History: Series began in 1966Overall: Pittsburgh leads 11-2-1At Pittsburgh: Pittsburgh leads 5-0-1At Atlanta: Pittsburgh leads 6-2Neutral Sites: n/aLast Meeting: Oct. 22, 2006 (in Atlanta)Atlanta 41, Pittsburgh 38 (OT)All those meetings were with completely different Atlanta teams. From what I've seen on the Falcons and Steelers message boards it seems that most fans are predicting a low scoring game. I don't agree. I'm thinking the Falcons will get to Dixon enough to rattle him causing fumbles and interceptions. Dixon hasn't proved to me that he can pass well enough to hurt us, and they will find it very difficult to run against us.I know I'm sounding like a homer but I don't think the Steelers are prepared for the ground and air attack the Falcons will finally show now that it counts. It would have been difficult for Big Ben to have beaten us. Dixon doesn't stand a chance.Footnote: The Vikings won't beat the Saints but I hope they haven't forgotten what the Saints did to Favre last time and return the favor to Brees.

Rai Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 fair points but do you think that dixon and the O can score many points on us? Ryan is 17-0 when the D holds the opposing O to 23 points or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
